Is this the most polarizing game of all time?
I cant remember any other games getting both 10s and 6s.
>>
>>747586230
I think Dragon Age Veilguard had some high initial scores and then really bad ones
>>
>>747586230
>polarizing
The game couldn't get enough high scores to do a 'accolades' ad without putting some 7/10's in there.

sites giving it a 10 are paid
sites giving it a 6 want to be paid

You know it's a good game when they need to showcase literal whos giving it high and meh scores.

Why did they decide that they were going to treat gamers as the most modern of all modern audiences? Did they think they were going to manufacture a youth culture?

80% of those outlets are literal who's.

Mina the holower got super mixed reviews. It was just bots and shills glazing it and honest reviews shitting on it.
Mix tape too.
What you have here is the same.
No one but dsp needs 3 separate fucking quest markers to point you in the right direction

Are they still yearning for better scores?

Is this the game by the shovel knight guys that they desperately need to be successful since they burnt all their money on biblical levels of decadence?

finding review scores interesting to talk and speculate about isn't the same as talking them seriously as indicators of quality and everyone here knows that. you're not unique or insightful.

>>747586230
>all those literal whos
>any good scores so rare they include fucking 7/10s
At least the spell sony had on consumers for over 2 decades has finally broken.
A shame most of the unhinged fanboyism went to nintendo and steam instead of disappearing.

The polarizing scores make Wolverine not the best example (especially since looking closely at it myself it definitely deserves those low-end 6/10s more than those 9s & 10s), but a 78 average being considered a shocking failure is indicative of how fucked review culture is in games.

who the hell is unironically giving this a 10?

Only for eternal newfags who haven't accepted that video game journalism is corrupt as fuck.
>the big budget games always get a 7/10 bare minimum

It's been this was since like the PS2 era though.
>>
>>747586230
You can tell the low scores are BS because IGN, Giant Bomb and Skill Up have released multiple videos trying to justify their reviews
>>
>>747586481
7s SHOULD be considered a good score but because people believe entertainment reviews are like test scores for some reason people treat it like it means "borderline bad". It's why Wolverine getting 6s and 7s is so shocking, since if peoples' heads were in the right place they'd probably have gone with 4s & 5s.

There doesn't seem to be a strong corelation
60 to 90 is basically a square

>>747588841
it's no different than anything below a 5 star review on amazon or google or airbnb or uber is considered "bad"
the world would be a much better place if at leat 40% of the population killed themselves

No, this game is universally panned. It's wolver.
>>
>>747588841
>for some reason
It just makes sense to treat them like the grading system we are all already familiar with. This is why people usually use the whole range on the 5star ranking method.

I really can not understand why any of these review sites and channels not people designated to play their favorite genres. It's so fucking retarded when a review starts and some faggot announces that he doesn't even like this type of a game. Then what the fuck are you doing officially reviewing it.
When I was a kid I'd read this gaming magazine and they had 1 or 2 dudes for different genres, sport, racing, fighting, rpg etc. Made perfect sense that when you want to learn if something is good, you'd want an opinion of somebody who knows their shit. Fuck journalists.

because many game critics are activists and aren't really reviewing the game itself but fighting a culture war. Happens all the time nowadays. This is why you shouldn't blindly trust reviews for anything anymore, especially movie and video game reviews.
